PiercingMetal Thoughts: If you referred back to the nominations post you’ll notice that some of the added winning names were not initially reported so I was glad to have them here for your own consumption. Congratulations to the winners of the Kerrang Awards. Did your favorites win out at the end of the day or do you feel that the results were rather predictable? Chime in down below and let me know what you think. Though I’m not a reader of Kerrang! Magazine or really any of the others these days, it’s good to find some of the things I paid attention to as a growing Metalhead years ago still in place. See you next time.
